What FUN is That!!??^^^^^

Sink another 100K into the boat and then there is one selling for $99K :)

Who said Power Boaters have Common Sense!! If we did we would be Blow Boaters
I say FUK iT - you cant take it with you, so enjoy it while you can- you just never know when its all over.

I agree too, but a big comfortable party barge/diesel cruiser/Sunseeker looks more appealing every day.

I can't believe how stupidly long and expensive it is to get one of these together. And the service on the high power stuff is like, non-existent.

second comment to this is YOUR CORRECT ! I just worked on a cig flatdeck doing the same thing trying to make a dumptruck a drag car and sold it for $.30 on the dollar . I have looked and have not seen one I like the look of like this boat and the detail that jawbreakerkid did on this boat is great .

Eventually after sometime you get everything worked out (99%) and you`re out there burning gallons per minute and having such a blast fun you end up running out of gas and tow boat tows you in while you`re in the back seat enjoying a nice night.. it make a cruiser seem real boring :D

Lucky you Dan, I burned holes in my pistons when I ran my blower motor out of gas.

ICDEDPPL 09-17-2015 11:57 PM

Oh man that sucks!
My co pilot keeps an eye on the warning lights, they go off at 4psi. headsets help, as soon as she said lights I shut it down. Then idled the other motor till it died 1/4 mile from marina of course.

We have ran our blower motors out of gas running pretty them pretty hard. It didn't hurt anything but then again we have a real safe tune in it...
